The Ford Barn

I have a pair of flatty water pumps, but one has the Ford logo on it, so I'm assuming that it's original. Before I hang them on the wall, do you think anyone would be interested in the original? Here's a pic of both. Thanks in advance, Carp.

They're not especially rare and not all original pumps had the script as it was added to help deter warranty fraud.

Someone might want them to use as cores either to rebuild themselves or sent to Skip or Daryl Fryer or another rebuilder of their choice.

David is correct (of course). These were first produced in 1945 for the exact reason David stated. If a guy is doing a concourse correct restoration on a '46 - '48 he needs them. Still, core value at best.

Thanks guys, I know that they're not worth much (probably not worth shipping). Here's the #, 78-8506 with 21 above it & the other is AB17R, just in case someone is interested.
